output from Nmon

CPU usage is divided into four categories
[ol]
[li]User - time taken on processing user applications[/li]
[li]System - time taken on processing system aplications[/li]
[li]Wait - time spent waiting for I/O[/li]
[li]Idle[/li]
[/ol]
The difference between User and System is not quite as straightforward as it might look. A user application which does a lot of disk i/o will use a significant amount of system time doing the i/o. Beyond that analysing nmon output is a bit of an art. This IBM site might be a place to start

I'm trying to use the nmon-analyzer to look at a sample-file collected over a couple of hours.
But I just keep getting an error message when I try to import the file into the analyzer spreadsheet.
'subscript out of range'
(worksheets(AAA).Range("snapshots).value=numrows)- from the debug mode
when you import a sample file, is there anything you need to change in the settings before you can import the file.
to use nmon files in the analyzer-spreadsheet do you have to invoke nmon with any special parameters
I have tried:
./nmon -F aix2.nmon -r 07jan-f03 -s20 -c100 -t
